They are not junk. They are solid guns. I have a youth 20ga that is sweet. It is small and fits nicely in the truck when knocking about the woods or camping. Back in the old days, everyone made do with a single shot shotgun. There weren't pumps and semi auto or doubles that the average man could afford. I grew up hunting with a single shot and never felt under-gunned until the internet came along and corrected my irrational thinking.
